We rate Rian Johnson’s Wake Up Dead Man, argue what makes a fair-play whodunit, and wrestle with how religion and charisma shape control, community, and consequence. Between jokes and toasts, we land on 3.5 out of 5 and ask for bolder risks next time.
• scoring the film by cinematography, acting, score, story, rewatchability
• standout shots that map power and space in the church
• ensemble performances and tonal hamminess on purpose
• pacing drag and the line between twisty and fair-play solvable
• faith, cult dynamics, and the soft-pedaled cost of belief
• media risk, IP fatigue, and why new voices matter
• playful “insert ourselves into the plot” alternate scenes
“Always wear your seatbelts”
